Notes

This was brewed with 9 gallons of freshly tapped maple water from my friend’s trees. If you were to make this again, you could add a quart of maple syrup to get the same amount of sugar.

Made a small vitality starter with 800ml of 1.030 wort and one package of rehydrated S-04. Also added a second package of S-04 at the same time.

Fermentation was vigorous for 3 days and started to slow but continued to bubble for nearly a week. Let it sit for another week before kegging.

Tasting it fresh from the fermenter without chilling or aging you get plenty of delicious residual sweetness, a nice warmth from the alcohol, and an interesting berry flavor that tastes, not like fake candy, but like fresh raspberries or blueberries. I suspect this is likely from the English ale yeast.

This will be aged in a bourbon barrel for a year.
